Abstract
- ABSTRACT Non-beta-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS), also referred to as viridans streptococci, represent an underestimated cause of human invasive diseases. Their resistance to antibiotics, including beta-lactam agents, often complicate their therapeutic management. A prospective multicenter study was conducted by the French National Reference Center for Streptococci between March and April 2021 to describe the clinical and microbiological epidemiology of invasive infections due to NBHS, excluding pneumococcus. A total of 522 NBHS invasive cases were collected. Distribution among streptococcal groups was: Streptococcus anginosus (33%), Streptococcus mitis (28%), Streptococcus sanguinis (16%), Streptococcus bovis/equinus (15%), Streptococcus salivarius (8%), and Streptococcus mutans (
